801  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Bitcoin & Apple Pay on: April 25, 2023, 09:58:13 AM
Thanks! I may try it in the future, even if I’m very cautious about those services as they are essentialy online wallets, which is the worst that was introduced to bitcoin Cheesy. In the past there were services like that, and I used I think 3 of them. All of them closed at one point and the funds were lost. So maybe this service is more trustworthy, but I’m not shure about that in this moment.

I did try them at some point when I really needed them and IIRC, I had problems with the verification process, not sure what was causing the issue but from the look of it (if you check online) a few people had similar issues at the time. It could be related to Ondato (their KYC provider) and not necessarily the service itself. I do know some people who had a good experience with them though, and you can find a few on Reddit.

I just tried to find some recent reviews about them, and I did find a couple of people who had issues, from a few months ago.  And when I checked their Twitter (I'm guessing that's how you found them?), I noticed that they have just woken up after a long period of inactivity[1] (~2 million views if we combine the last two posts, so they're probably displaying ads and taking marketing more seriously) so it's very possible that they have fixed the issues they used to have.

Alternatively, Paywithmoon[3] (very similar to spendl) used to offer cards that support Apple Pay but they stopped issuing them a couple of months ago and they are now looking for a new partner, maybe you can wait or ask them when they're relaunching.

يبدو أنه كنت على حق أخي يحيي، لقد قامت المنصة منذ قليل بالاعلان عن أن توثيق الحسابات سوف يصبح ضروريا بداية من الشهر المقبل و بيدو أن البلد العربي الوحيد ضمن البلدان غير المدعومة هو سوريا للأسف.
803  Other / Archival / Re: Current list of exchanges without KYC on: April 24, 2023, 04:21:47 PM
This just came out[1]. Apparently, starting from May 8th, it's going to be mandatory for Bybit users to complete Lv1 verification (ID + Selfie).

So now, the only decent options are OKX and Kucoin. I'm wondering who's turn next.

804  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: old electrum default_wallet file - Help on: April 24, 2023, 03:31:04 PM
I'm guessing you don't have your seed phrase? Since want to know if the wallet file is encrypted, try to open it using notepad.

If you see random characters that you don't understand -> file is encrypted.

If you see your addresses and everything, scroll down to "xpriv". If its value starts with "xpriv" you're good, if it's anything else, it also means your private keys are encrypted.

I couldn't find much about the error you mentioned, but assuming this is a compatibility issue, you should be able to read the wallet using an older version.
805  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Need marketplace on: April 24, 2023, 08:14:40 AM
Are you referring to the site's fees for selling and buying? or the rates?

With the shutdown of Paxful, I'm afraid there are no other good alternatives. Most P2P platforms left don't support gift cards.

If you want to eliminate the fees, then you could use the Digital Goods board here in the forums. As for the rates, then the ones on the site you mentioned seem quite reasonable. Anything higher than 20% discount is a red flag.
806  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: trading without fees on: April 23, 2023, 02:56:08 PM
I know Bybit and Binance had a promotion not a long time ago, you can double check but I believe they both ended. So you've only got MEXC left and it's applicable to all trading pairs:

Start time: 16:00, April 1, 2023 (UTC)
End time: Until further notice
Applicable pairs: All spot trading pairs on MEXC

Thanks again OmegaStarScream for your instant reply. I went through it and found it very interesting. I would need some time to understand it.

Check the second part of this article that came out yesterday[1].

I haven't tried this myself, but apparently, you should be able to use alby to achieve what you want. You will still need to buy your own server and domain, but you won't have to install or run anything.

808  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electum error signing a message on: April 23, 2023, 09:33:22 AM
Did you export -> manually change -> and import your requests by any chance? There was a similar problem reported not a long time ago: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/8232

Are you getting that message when creating a receive request, or when clicking the "Sign message" button? I don't see how you would get it in the latter, since you're not limited to certain characters when signing a message.
809  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How often does bitcoin mempool get empty? on: April 23, 2023, 08:42:16 AM
The mempool size basically correlates with anything that triggers more transactions:

- Bitcoin price and market conditions[1]
- More use cases for bitcoin: Ordinals when they first came out[2]
- I would also imagine that the same thing happened back when FTX collapsed, and people started to withdraw their funds.
etc.

They have that information in their site. It depends on the courrier used (DHL or Fedex) but it shouldn't take more than 2-5 business days.

811  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: We are working on an API for Bitcoin! on: April 22, 2023, 03:24:58 PM
I am really sorry for that, yes it is down. The server has crashed down for some reasons and the support team is not responding to my tickets. I will let you know when it is back online.
P.S
It is my first priority to find a better server so we don't face such issues in future.

What are you currently using? Have you considered using AWS API Gateway? There's a free tier available, so that's 1 million API calls received free (per month) for the first year.
812  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: We are working on an API for Bitcoin! on: April 22, 2023, 03:04:23 PM
Is the API down at the moment? I'm trying to use Socket to watch an address and I keep getting a timeout error. I'm basically doing the exact same as you are doing in the documentation, just in Python instead:

Code:
import socketio

sio = socketio.Client()
sio.connect('https://btc.merapi.io/global')

@sio.on('spent-address-X_ADDRESS')
def on_spent_address(data):
    print(data)

sio.wait()

813  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum weird freezing on click on: April 22, 2023, 01:31:15 PM
Make sure that you have your wallet's seed first, and then try to delete the folder:

Code:
%AppData%/Electrum

Run Electrum again -> Restore your wallet (with the seed) and see if the problem persists. If it does, then I guess you should just go ahead and update. It's always recommended to use the latest version anyway.
814  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum weird freezing on click on: April 22, 2023, 01:11:41 PM
I tried the 4.0.9 portable version, and I couldn't reproduce the problem you're having. Does this happen with any transaction you make or just with a specific one?
815  Local / منصات التبادل / Re: تفتتح مقرها الرئيسي في دبي Bybit on: April 22, 2023, 12:05:58 PM
نعم أخي أوميغا أتمنى أن يكون هذا الكلام صحيحا ويتعلق KYC بفيات فقط.
لكن أذكر أنك في موضوع سابق تحدثت عن قرار الإمارات أن أي منصة يتوجب عليها إعطاء المعلومات وعمليات المراجعة إذا أرادت الحصول على ترخيص:

-snip-
من هنا كان سؤالي حول إمكانية فرض KYC بواسطة Bybit على مستخدميها بما أنها حصلت على الترخيص بشكل قانوني.

على حسب ما فهمت، فالمعلومات التي ذكرتها في ذلك الموضوع ليس عندها أي علاقة بالمستخدم. يعني المنصة ملزمة باعطاء معلومات أكثر حول الشركة نفسها و ليس بالضرورة حول المستخدمين، أما بالنسبة لعمليات المراجعة، فأتصور أن هذا الأمر يعني مراجعة البيانات المالية للمنصة، لا غير. على أي، الأيام المقبلة كفيلة باعطاءنا الجواب الدقيق.

لكن ان كنت تملك أموال  كبيرة في المنصة، فقد يكون من الأفضل اخراجها ان لم تكن مستعدا لاعطاء بياناتك في حال تم طلبها منك
816  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Why Coinbase & Binance does not support Bitcoin LN? on: April 21, 2023, 01:45:39 PM
Why would Binance support the lightning network when they can sell you WBTC in BSC.  Tongue

As for Coinbase, then they already made a statement a couple of weeks ago about it if I'm not mistaken. They have plans to integrate it.
817  Local / العربية (Arabic) / Re: البيتكوين في الامارات on: April 20, 2023, 05:44:53 PM
بالاضافة الى اعلان منصة باي بيت لفتح مقرها الرئيسي في دبي كما ذكر الأخ يحيي في موضوع سابق، أعلنت اليوم منصة Coinbase على حصولها على ترخيص للعمل في برمودا و على خططها الى التوسع الى أبو ظبي [1] و هو الأمر الذي أتى بعد يومين من تصريح المدير التنفيذي للشركة من أنه من جد الممكن أن تقوم المنصة بالتخلي عن الولايات المتحدة بسبب التنظيمات و القوانين غير الواضحة في البلد.

في رأيي و ان حدث هذا بالفعل، سوف تكون مسألة وقت حتى نرى كل المنصات الأخرى في الامارات و الذي يعني أنه مع الوقت أيضا، سوف يؤدي الى توسع هذه المنصات الى دول الخليج الأخرى.

818  Local / منصات التبادل / Re: تفتتح مقرها الرئيسي في دبي Bybit on: April 20, 2023, 04:49:47 PM

الآن بما أن Bybit ستكون تحت إشراف سلطة تنظيم الأصول الافتراضية في الإمارة (VARA) ، هل تعتقدون أن هذا خبر جيد يمنح بعض الأمان للمستخدمين في حال حدوث أي مشاكل؟
أم أنه سيكون له آثار سلبية من ناحية فرض KYC على جميع المستخدمين؟

قد أكون مخطئا هنا، لكن لا أعتقد أن هذا يعني بالضرورة أن ال KYC سوف يكون اجباري على المستخدمين.

فمثلا، منصة Bybit و OKX كانت كليهما قد تحصلتا على ترخيص مؤقت العام الفائت لذلك منطقيا، لو كانت عندكم أي خطة لفرض توثيق الحسابات، كانو قد صرحو بها من قبل[1][2]

الان و ان اطلعنا على كل ما يخص قوانين تبييض الأموال [3]. يمكننا رؤية أنه هنالك الكثير من المعلومات حول KYC و KYT أيضا، لكن من الصعب معرفة ما اذا كان المقصود منها جميع المنصات أو منصات الفيات فقط.

Update: So it's official. The CEO has been extradited and detained by the police in Turkey[1]

I wasn't following the case up close, does anyone know what happened to the funds? I only know about the ~13M they found in a Maltan exchange (not sure which one).

Since the exchange have been mentioned above, you can check this[1] first to have a better idea about the liquidity in each one of them.

You should also keep in mind that most (CEXes) mentioned do not support gift cards like LBC and Paxful used to.
